1. INTRODUCTION
The manual you have in your hands is a guide for the correct use of the RUNNER remote control. This
unit, together with the associated receiver, has been specifically designed for the wireless remote
control of electromechanically operated machinery.
The latest technology and modern microprocessors have been used in the electronic design. This
allows total safety in the use of the radio remote control.
The type of transmission used GCFI (Intelligent Frequency Change Management) provides the
equipment with an intelligent system that allows it to change to unoccupied frequencies in a random
and automatic way, thus avoiding interference that could cause continuous stops during operation.
2. GENERAL TERMS FOR THE CORRECT AND SAFE USE OF
RADIO REMOTE CONTROL
The user, in order to have the maximum security in the handling of the remote control, must follow the
rules described in this manual.
The operator of the remote control, when he has to perform any command of the device, must be
located in a place where he can visualize at all times the maneuver he is performing. If it’s impossible
to do so, he must be located in a place where he can see the maximum possible maneuver, and in the
hidden places, an assistant is required. Never perform a maneuver that may have an uncontrolled
part.
Do not leave the radio remote control on the floor or on top of metal blocks but, if necessary, activate
the emergency stop (STOP BUTTON) on the transmitter.
When the operator of the remote control ends his working day or has to leave the remote control, he
must activate the emergency stop (STOP BUTTON) and place the battery in the charger for its
recharging.
2.1. KEYBOARD LOCKING PROCEDURE
Optionally, the device can have a keyboard lock/unlock system using a key sequence.
The remote control keyboard is locked by pressing the start button 5 times in less than 3 seconds, with
the STOP BUTTON pressed, which is indicated by the simultaneous lighting up of the LED and the
LED for 3 seconds.
To unlock the keyboard, press the start button again 5 times in less than 3 seconds with the STOP
BUTTON pressed. However, to confirm the unlocking, the two LEDs above blink three times.
Please note that if the start button is pressed when the keyboard is locked, the LED and the LED
flash alternately.

3. DESCRIPTION OF ITEMS
Remote control, batteries and charger.
3.1. REMOTE CONTROL
It’s a sealed pushbuttons box made of highly resistant plastic material. On the front side you can find
the control buttons and LED indicators, and on the back side there is the housing for the
interchangeable batteries.
3.2. BATTERY CHARGER
The charger allows a fast and safe charging of batteries. The batteries supplied are Ni-MH and the
charger is designed to optimize their charge and lifetime. It’s able to detect defective, short-circuited or
overheated batteries and can recover discharged batteries after a long period.
3.2.1. BATTERY CHARGING PROCESS
The charger has two indicator LEDs, one for power, which indicates that the device is connected to
power, and one for charging, which indicates that charging is in progress. When the battery is inserted,
the charger checks the charge level and depending on this it can perform two actions:
If the load level is low, a pre-charge is performed (LED flashing)
A constant charge is made for approx. 20 minutes (LED on steady).
After this time, the charger checks the state of the battery and adapts the charge to each case. When
the charging process is complete, the LED turns off. A complete charge is made in less than 3 hours.
The loading must be done at a temperature between -10 ºC and 50 ºC.
Before using the remote control for the first time, fully charge the batteries.

5. INSTALLATION AND START-UP
5.1. INSTALLATION OF THE RECEIVER
The details of the installation of the receiver can be found in the corresponding manual.
It’s essential that you consult this manual before the start-up.
5.2. START-UP
Once the receiver is installed, when activating the general switch of the machine, the LEDs located on
the front of the receiver will light up to verify its correct operation.
Insert a charged battery into the remote control and the LEDs on the button panel will light up
sequentially to verify its operation. In case there is a problem with the EEPROM of the transmitter,
LED S1 will be on steady.
Switch off the emergency stop button (STOP PALMSWITCH). When the START button is pressed, the
remote control will start working by activating the stop relays and start relay, and the general contactor
will be locked. The LEDs and S1 (Start LED) of the remote control will be activated indicating that
the remote control is in operating mode. From this moment on, the activation of any button will result in
the activation of the corresponding operation. The selected manoeuvre will remain active as long as
the button is pressed.
To keep the radio channel free and prevent the operator from accidentally leaving the machine
running when not in use, the remote control has been fitted with an automatic stop system. If no
intervention is made, this system acts after 180 seconds (configurable) sending a stop sequence to
the receiver, which will cause the machine to stop.
5.2.1. SETTING THE TRANSMISSION TIME
The configuration of the automatic stop time (default 180 seconds) is done from the pushbuttons, and
this time can be changed between three values as follows:
Lock the STOP BUTTON and remove the battery.1) Press any of the first two upper control pushbuttons and, keeping them pressed, insert the battery.2) Wait about 3 seconds and unlock the STOP BUTTON.3) Release the pushbutton and press it again.4) The LEDs and will flash simultaneously from one to three times indicating the time that5) has been programmed, which can be:
Mode 1: 180 seconds (one flash).
Mode 2: 330 seconds (two flashes).
Mode 3: continuous emission (three flashes).
Repeat the sequence successively to switch from one mode to another in a cyclical way. To activate
the remote control again, remove and reinsert the battery.
5.2.2. BATTERY STATUS
The transmitter is equipped with a battery status indicator LED. When the remote control detects that
the battery is at a certain level of discharge, the LED will start flashing and the horn manoeuvre
will be activated intermittently (backup status of the autonomy). From this moment on, after
approximately 10 minutes, the transmitter switches off, sends a stop sequence to the receiver and the
LED lights up permanently (empty battery).

6. MAINTENANCE OF RADIO REMOTE CONTROL EQUIPMENT
The product you have purchased is manufactured with top quality materials that ensure the perfect
functioning and operation of the remote control. Like any other machine or equipment, the remote
control requires a few basic precautions that should be respected.
ATTENTION!: if any anomaly is detected in the operation of the equipment, it must be
put out of service immediately.
In order to increase the life of your equipment as much as possible, and to avoid unnecessary repair
costs, we recommend that you carefully follow the following conservation and maintenance tips:
Avoiding unnecessary hits on the equipment.
Use the attachment accessories, shoulder strap, properly and adjust it so that the use of the
equipment is comfortable and safe.
Although the equipment has a high degree of water tightness (IP65), it shouldn't be totally or
partially submerged and shouldn't be left in places where it could flood if it rains.
The pushbuttons of the set are made of an elastic material to give them elasticity, texture and
water tightness, so you must take special care to avoid touching them with sharp objects that
could damage the structure of the button. When the button is worn-out or damaged it must be
replaced immediately.
It’s also advisable not to leave the remote unnecessarily exposed to the sun's rays.
Check that the battery holder contacts are free of dirt and rust and that they exert the spring return
force correctly.
ATTENTION!: before any manipulation proceed to deactivate the main switch of the
machine.
Generally, it’s advisable to carry out a complete revision of the water tightness devices that protect
both the receiver and the transmitter from bad weather conditions every now and then. It’s advisable
that this revision is done by a Technical Assistance Service accredited by ITOWA, since a bad
waterproofing can cause irreparable damage to the equipment.
In the case of the remote control, pay particular attention to the joints and rubber protections of the
different drives, replacing them immediately if they have been cut or suffered other damages.
¡ATTENTION!: Original spare parts should be used for any repairs, and the safety
features as well as those of the UHF transmitter and receiver, should never be altered.
To test the function of the active safety, simply actuate the EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON on the
transmitter while it is running. The general contactor must fall down immediately.
To check the operation of the passive safety, disconnect the power or remove the battery from the
transmitter. The general contactor should drop after within a maximum of 1.6 seconds.
6.1. MAINTENANCE OF THE CHARGER
The following parts will be checked:
Contacts (which must be free of dirt and rust).
The correct display and indication of the LEDs.
If you have any questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Assistance
Service or any of our authorized technicians.
